London Docklands -The Royal Victoria Dock - southside. Too many years ago I sailed out of this dock on an old tramp steamer bound for South America. It was my first trip to sea. How we ever got there and back is a story for another day!
Mt. Washburn on the right of frame, taken from Dunraven Pass, Yellowstone NP. This area is still recovering from the horrific fire season of 1988.
Just five weeks ago this place was burnt to a crisp by the moorland fires we had. Just goes to show how quick things can grow back after such devastation.

Home scan of 5x6 sloppy border print by Blue Moon Camera.
I have another digital version of this, edited in PS for contrast, but when I compare them I prefer this slightly overexposed print. Which is not where I usually go.
A small fir tree and a clump of salal have taken root and are growing on the top of a disintegrating totem pole, out of reach of deer, at the deserted Haida village of K'uuna Llnagaay on Louise Island, Haida Heritage Site, Haida Gwaii, British Columbia.

Regeneration
C'est incroyable de les voir se mouvoir et se tortiller dans tous les sens pour s'extirper de leur ancienne enveloppe corporelle !
It's amazing to see them move and wriggle in all directions to extricate themselves from their old body envelope!
....fire ground images, captured near Bell (NSW)...it's only been a few weeks since this fire was deemed under control, and there are still fires burning across the country..countless images of the devastion have been posted by mainstream and amateur photographers alike.....this is my view.
....it was quite confronting to see the damage and I feel somewhat intrusive posting these photographs...I had intended to process the images in black and white but went with colour, for all but one image.......I saw the scenes in colour and intererpreted one in B&W....I hope that makes sense.
Just north of Williams Lake. Remnants of the fire of 2017
This fire burned so hot that experts said it would take years for plants to come back. Some came back sooner than expected.
Acacia seed pods (I think) about to drop their bundles in the Denmark Hill Conservation Park, Ipswich, Queensland. (Testing out my new lens and filters in CS6)
A digger removes the final fragment of this former Victorian gasholder's telescopic rising container structure, in readiness for clearing the interior and laying the foundations of a new circular apartment block (part of the 'Broadway East' development designed by Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners) which is due to be built within the iron frame.
This is one of the former Bethnal Green gasholders which stands alongside the Regent's Canal.
Dover is known as the Gateway to England.
On top, Dover Castle, which has seen it all.
Below, the Gateway - flats built by Dover Corporation to replace buildings devastated during WWII. Built as what is now called "affordable housing" at reasonable rents. Due to political decisions, most of them are now privately owned.
Architects: Kenneth Dalgleish and Roger Pullen.

Another photo from this week! The fog was gorgeous, and I took a long walk with myself and my camera, exploring the forest just like I used to. I needed that.

Marble Canyon at Kootenay National Park, BC. In 2003 a lightning strike sparked the sprawling blaze, which lasted for weeks and consumed 17,000 hectares of forest in the park. Couldn’t imagine the loss of all those plants and animals. Today, 14 years later, the park is still badly scared but vibrant lush foliage is starting to regenerate amid the charred trees. We are privileged to see the beginning part of how all of these forests actually started.

Many thanks to all those who view, fav or comment my pictures. It is much appreciated.
The heath fire that occured on Thursley back in June destroyed around 150 hectares of valuable habitat made up of heather, gorse and trees. Plus of course lots of specialised wildlife. As you can see here though the heather is already growing through the charred ground once again. So it's good to see that regeneration is begining to take place.
The Millennium Mills is a derelict flour mill in West Silvertown on the south side of the Royal Victoria Dock alongside the newly built Britannia village, in Newham, London, England. The Mills are currently undergoing a major renovation as part of a £3.5billion redevelopment of Silvertown.
They were designed and built by millers William Vernon & Sons of West Float, Birkenhead in 1905.
The building is an iconic part of East London docklands & has appeared in many film & TV productions including Danny Boyle's Trance, Terry Gilliam's Brazil, The Last of England, Green zone, Twenty8K, Ashes to Ashes, London's Burning. Also music videos including Ask by The Smiths, The Box by Orbital, Fluorescent Adolescent by the Arctic Monkeys & Take Back the city by Snow Patrol.
A bird's eye view of AMARC or AMARG in October 1996
Taken from an orbiting Cessna 172, back then, ex USAF, USN and USMC F-4 Phantoms dominated this view - in fact on a quick assessment there were nearly 600 of them split between this main area on the left and behind the 172's wing strut.
There were also others arriving to be assessed and de-fuelled
Sensitive equipment would be removed and stored and 'tires' replaced with used ones
'Spraylat' would then be applied to all orifices to seal up the airframe before being towed out to the parking spots
Once there they would languish in the relatively low humidity of this desert location to either be returned to US service, sold to another Air Arm or stripped of useful spares. Many were retrieved and converted as QF-4's being used as live 'un-manned' targets for live firing missile testing
If stripped of spares - then the remaining hulk would be sold as scrap to the many scrapyards located around the periphery of AMARC (a couple can be seen mid left) - eventually ending up being melted down as 'Aluminum' ingots for industry use
